Vesper Drift

Features
Read full description

For space shooter players who want a campaign offline, Vesper Drift puts dodging and weapon choices in one thumb’s reach, with 4 ships earned through play rather than a collection of hundreds. Your ship fires while you steer through enemy formations. Pick a weapon upgrade mid-flight, cut a path through the next wave and face the sector’s boss. The Alloy you earn stays with your fleet between missions. Your next flight - 18 missions across 3 orbital gardens, with survival, interception and combat objectives. - 3 bosses: the Sentinel, the Weaver and the Leviathan. - 4 ships with focused, piercing, fan or converging fire. Earn them through campaign progress. - Starting modules and permanent ship upgrades bought with earned Alloy. - Weapon choices during flights, 3-star mission goals and retries without an energy meter. Change the rules One contract is available each week on a repeating 12-week rotation. The complete archive holds 36 mission-and-rule combinations. This is a finite collection, not unlimited new weekly content. Ranked Arcade, Daily Drift and Expeditions use their own rules. Campaign upgrades and paid PvE advantages do not affect ranked Arcade scores. Optional purchases Aegis is a permanent purchase for immediate access to the ship. Starts at level 3; higher upgrades are preserved. Its converging twin cannon, reinforced hull and repair after 18 seconds without taking damage help in PvE. You can also earn the ship by completing campaign mission 12. Vesper Contracts Archive is a one-time purchase. It permanently unlocks all 36 contracts. It does not grant ranked advantages. The full campaign and all four ships can be played and earned without it. Vesper Mastery remains a separate one-time purchase for its existing Arcade features. Previous purchases and eligible historical rights are preserved. Play offline Gameplay and local progress work offline. Purchases, restoration and online Game Center features require a connection. Progress is saved on this device, with no cloud synchronization. Restoring purchases restores verified purchase rights, not a deleted local save. The App Store displays your local price before purchase. Privacy: https://bnjdpn.com/VesperDrift/privacy.html Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

Zigg

Tap. Turn. Don't fall. Zigg is a one-tap arcade runner built on a single idea: a ball rolling down an endless zigzag path that crumbles the moment you leave it. Tap anywhere to switch direction. Miss the turn and the run is over. WHAT A RUN LOOKS LIKE - One tap, one finger, no tutorial. You understand it in two seconds. - The path falls away behind you, so there is never a way back. - Speed climbs with your score until every tap is pure reflex. - Gems sit on the path, and grabbing them is exactly what gets you killed. - The sky changes every 25 points: six palettes, shuffled fresh every run. CLIMB THE LEADERBOARD Every personal best gets a rank. Take a nickname, pick one of twenty faces, and see exactly where you land - on the podium, or 6th of 1,227. Set a record with no signal and it posts itself the moment you are back online. EIGHTEEN BALLS TO UNLOCK Spend the gems you collect in the shop. Tennis, Football, Basketball, Beach Ball, Checker, Eight Ball, Retro, Court, Gold with its sparkle trail, Vortex, Silver, Toxic, Gas Giant, Frost, and Ember, which burns a flame trail down the path behind you. BUILT TO RESPECT YOU - No ads. Not one, not ever. - No in-app purchases. Every ball is earned by playing. - Plays offline. Only the leaderboard wants a connection, and it waits for one. - No account and no sign-up. A nickname, and only if you want to be ranked. - Portrait, one hand, ten-second bursts. Your high score is the first opponent. Everybody else is the second.
